(Good Manufacturing Practices) • GMP is that part of Quality assurance which ensures that the products are consistently manufactured and controlled to the Quality standards appropriate to their intended use • A set of principles and procedures which, when followed by manufacturers for therapeutic goods, helps ensure that the products manufacture will have the required quality. 2014/02/18 Faculty of Pharmacy, Omar Al-Mukhtar University, Tobruk, Libya. 4 Good Manufacturing Practices • A basic tenet of GMP is that quality cannot be tested into a batch of product but must be built into each batch of product during all stages of the manufacturing process. • It is designed to minimize the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product. 2014/02/18 Faculty of Pharmacy, Omar Al-Mukhtar University, Tobruk, Libya. 5 Some of the main risks are – Unexpected contamination of products, causing damage to health or even death. – Incorrect labels on containers, which could mean that patients receive the wrong medicine. – Insufficient or too much active ingredient, resulting in ineffective treatment or adverse effects. 2014/02/18 Faculty of Pharmacy, Omar Al-Mukhtar University, Tobruk, Libya. 6 Why GMP is important • A poor quality medicine may contain toxic substances that have been unintentionally added. • A medicine that contains little or none of the claimed ingredient will not have the intended therapeutic effect. 2014/02/18 Faculty of Pharmacy, Omar Al-Mukhtar University, Tobruk, Libya. 7 GMP QA GMP QC 2014/02/18 QA: Quality Assurance GMP: Good Manufacturing Practices QC: Quality Control Faculty of Pharmacy, Omar Al-Mukhtar University, 8 Tobruk, Libya.
